Capture and lyase-triggered release of circulating tumor cells using a disposable microfluidic chip embedded with core/shell nylon-6/Ca(ii)-alginate immunofiber mats

, the reculture efficiency of the released cells after 7 days reached 274.5%. Our proposed method provides an ideal fibrous mat to be embedded within a microfluidic chip for capturing and releasing CTCs for precision medicine applications, using recultured CTCs in individualized anti-tumor therapies.
